TAKE A LOOK AT OUR BOOK

Written by Val & Gary Morrison

Shadows of the Beatles is the sweeping, romantic, and haunting true story of Gary and Valerie Morrison — two people born worlds apart but drawn together by music, memory, and destiny.

From postwar Yorkshire to 1960s Chicago and Miami, pirate radio to Parisian streets, this memoir dances across decades and continents with one constant thread: The Beatles.

Told in two voices, this story weaves family secrets, Cold War intrigue, ghost encounters, seaside summers, and teenage dreams into a love letter to music — and to each other.

It’s the story of how one song can change your life.

Glimpses of a true story written in memory and melody.

“Some memories arrive like a guitar chord, others like a ghost.
Ours arrived like a song we thought we’d forgotten —
and it carried us across an ocean,
back into each other’s lives.”

*“Although I didn’t have the privilege of growing up in the 1960s and experiencing the Beatles first-hand, I really appreciated the way your stories brought that era to life. The details about everyday life in England at that time were especially vivid and gave me a real sense of what it must have been like.

I’m sure that anyone who did live through those years will find your memoir both nostalgic and deeply engaging. Both my wife and I found the book to be beautifully written and thoroughly enjoyable.”*
